Federal planning board expected to approve Trump's 250-foot arch
A federal planning board is expected to approve President Trump's 250-foot arch on Thursday, though court challenges remain.
A federal planning board is expected to give final approval on Thursday to President Trump's proposed 250-foot arch, according to The New York Times and PBS NewsHour. The vote had not been reported as of the latest report.
PBS NewsHour reports the approval would clear a hurdle toward breaking ground. It says the administration has said construction could begin within a day of the vote.
The project still faces legal challenges. The Times reports that court action, along with Democrats' upcoming control of Congress, could halt the plans. PBS describes the proposed arch as gilded.
